Highest Priority In Each Case...

Believe me, 'if' we knew what happened to Kristen, Kristin and Kent - they would be home with their families today. But we don't 'know' what happened so we MUST keep trying. Lots of people in the world - it just takes 'one' person who finds it within his/her heart to send in a tip We really are that close. So - we'll keep trying. I have decided to focus most of my time on addressing the single most important task for each family.

Kristen Modafferi...the letter

We need to get to the bottom of the June 5th, 2012 letter written by Anthony Romo, uncle of suspect Jill Lampo. Jill called her uncle out of the blue 5 years ago and said she needed to talk. What ensued was a phone conversation that took several hours. Luckily, Mr. Romo realized how serious the conversation was getting and he decided to take notes as Jill was talking.

Jill confessed to her uncle that she helped kidnap and murder a woman while she lived in the Bay Area and that the guilt was really getting to her. See actual letter here....

Some context: Jill Lampo's boyfriend, Jon Onuma, was identified as a prime suspect within weeks of Kristen Modafferi's disappearance. Onuma was even named by John Walsh of America's Most Wanted on his national show in May of 1998.

Kristin Smart...the yard

Susan Flores' back yard at 529 East Branch Street, Arroyo Grande, Ca must be dug up. The SLO Sheriff's Office was supposed to dig up the yard on June 20th, 2000, but they decided not to. They had a SIGNED WARRANT in their hand when they went to that property and for reasons so far not understood, they chose NOT to dig up the yard.

I received an email from FBI Agent Jack Schafer, the same agent that investigated the backyard and who did the preparation work for the warrant. He was not pleased that the Sheriff's department did not dig up the yard. He told me that the whole reason he wrote the warrant was because he wanted the yard dug up. He called it a 'missed opportunity'. See FBI Agent Jack Schafer's email here...

In Kristin Smarts case, the highest priority has to be to dig up Susan Flores yard.

Kent Jacobs...the refrigerator

Eerily similar to Kristin Smart's case, there is a search warrant that exists, signed by a judge, where the investigating Detective who wrote the warrant says that there is probable cause to believe that Kent Jacobs was murdered and his body buried in a refrigerator on property owned by Greg Jones. That property is 114 Hulon Street, Hope Mills, NC. See the 'two-page' warrant here...

The Cumberland County Sheriff's department went to the property and due to environmental reasons, stopped short of digging up the refrigerator. Despite assurances by Law Enforcement to the Jacobs family that they would return to the property, they have not done so in seven years.

Digging that refrigerator up and seeing what is inside is easily the highest priority in the Kent Jacobs case.

Note: No one believes Greg Jones has anything to do with this crime. He simply inherited the property 7 years after Kent disappeared upon the death of his father, Cliff Jones..

How I got involved...

I saw a TV News report about Kristen Modafferi in October of 1997 and just wanted to help in any way. I had some vacation time set aside and the Modafferi's gave me permission to go to the Bay Area and help look for their daughter.

Mrs. Modafferi introduced me to Mrs. Smart and that is how I became involved in Kristin Smart's case.

Through them, Kent Jacobs sister heard about me and called me one evening around 2004.
